Resolution criteria
- This market will resolve to YES if a federal law in the United States making Daylight Saving Time (DST) permanent year-round (thereby eliminating the biannual clock change in favor of permanent DST) is officially enacted on or before August 28, 2028.
- Definition of "Enacted": A bill is considered enacted once it is signed into law by the President, passed over a presidential veto, or allowed to become law without a signature.
- The actual implementation date (when the clocks officially stop changing) does not need to occur before August 28, 2028, as long as the law authorizing permanent DST has been signed/enacted.
- Scope: This applies to the Sunshine Protection Act (e.g., H.R. 139) or any other federal legislation that achieves the same nationwide outcome of making daylight saving time permanent.
- If a bill is enacted that makes standard time permanent instead, this market resolves to NO.
